Product Information

Full details

The LS2 MX701 Explorer is a premium adventure helmet engineered for long-distance touring and off-road versatility, making it an ideal choice for dual-sport riders who prioritize safety and durability. Its standout benefit is the lightweight carbon fiber shell construction combined with ECE 22.06 certification, offering superior protection without unnecessary weight; however, users should be aware that the aggressive adventure styling and ventilation ports can result in higher wind noise at high highway speeds compared to touring-specific helmets.

FAQs

Does the helmet come with the Pinlock insert included?

The visor is prepared for the Pinlock Max Vision system, but please check the specific retailer bundle as the insert is sometimes sold separately.

Can I use this helmet for highway riding?

Yes, the MX701 Explorer is designed for long-distance touring, though it is more audible than a dedicated street-only helmet due to its adventure design.

How do I clean the interior liner?

Remove the interior comfort liner carefully, hand wash with a mild detergent, and allow it to air dry fully before placing it back inside.

Is the helmet compatible with glasses?

Yes, the interior foam is designed to accommodate most types of prescription glasses comfortably.

What is the benefit of the Double D-ring closure?

The Double D-ring is widely considered the most secure closure method for racing and adventure riding as it keeps the chin strap at the correct tension every time.

What communication systems fit this helmet?

It is specifically engineered for easy integration with the Sena LinkIn Ride Pal III system.

Troubleshooting

Visor fogging up during cold or rainy conditions

Ensure the Pinlock Max Vision insert is correctly installed and the seal is tight against the visor; clean the insert with water only.

Helmet feels loose after a few months of use

Check if the inner lining has shifted or requires washing to regain its original shape; consider purchasing thicker replacement cheek pads if necessary.

Intercom audio quality is poor or muffled

Verify that the speakers are correctly positioned within the ear pockets and are not covered by excess fabric or padding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight carbon fiber shell reduces neck fatigue on long rides
  • Latest ECE 22.06 safety rating provides peace of mind
  • Wide field of view enhances peripheral awareness
  • Emergency release cheek pads add an essential safety layer
  • Excellent ventilation system for warm weather riding

Cons

  • Increased wind noise due to adventure-style peak and ventilation
  • Larger shell profile can be susceptible to wind buffeting
  • Double D-ring closure may take longer to secure than micro-metric buckles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best experience, ensure the helmet is sized correctly using the laser-cut foam inserts provided. The interior liner is removable and washable; use mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely before re-installation. The helmet is natively compatible with the Sena LinkIn Ride Pal III communication system, which integrates into the interior padding for a clean, low-profile setup. To install the Pinlock, carefully flex the visor and hook the insert into the pre-positioned pins, ensuring a tight seal against the internal gasket to prevent fogging.
